As a developer working collaboratively on ArcGIS Experience Builder projects, I have encountered challenges when attempting to merge pages from separate projects, especially when team members are working simultaneously on different machines. Currently, the Developer Edition lacks a straightforward method for merging pages across projects, which hampers efficient teamwork.
Proposed Enhancement:
- Page Import/Export Functionality:
Introduce a feature that allows developers to export individual pages from one project and import them into another. This would facilitate the integration of work done by different team members into a single cohesive project.
2. Shared Update Groups Support:
Enable support for shared update groups within the Developer Edition, allowing multiple users to collaborate on the same experience in real-time. This feature is currently limited, and its implementation would significantly enhance collaborative workflows.
3. Version Control Integration:
Incorporate version control system (VCS) integration, such as Git, to manage changes from multiple contributors effectively. This would allow for tracking changes, resolving conflicts, and maintaining a history of edits, thereby improving collaboration among team members.
Implementing these features would enhance collaboration by facilitating seamless teamwork and allowing developers to merge their work efficiently. It would increase productivity by reducing the time and effort required to combine pages from different projects, enabling faster development cycles. Additionally, it would improve project management by providing better control over project components, ensuring consistency and coherence across the application. Overall, these enhancements would significantly improve the collaborative capabilities of ArcGIS Experience Builder Developer Edition, making it a more robust tool for development teams.
